STOP THE WORLD, I WANT TO GET OFF!!
Anyone else feeling this way today? I think this world needs a "dose" of good news and good feelings for a drastic change. TOO much pain, TOO much sorrow, and TOO little patience and love. WE NEED A BREAK!! Thank you in advance UNIVERSE !!....just the way I feel today.......enough already. JA

1. The wingnuts and racists are really getting me down. I just cannot imagine
how they can sustain so much hate and ignorance. Not only that, but how their leaders are encouraging it. Too much for me to fathom.

4. And if you even make a joke
about their insanity they say you are "mean" and disrespectful. We are supposed to respect them and not even joke around, but they will NOT respect the President of the United States of America but go around screaming about patriotism.

A friend and I had a conversation not two hours ago about this, she didn't know how to get through to her right-wing sister and was arming herself with facts about all the wars back to Viet Nam and I told her that you can't get through to them, they dismiss any facts as "liberal plots and lies". If they don't hear it on Fox it isn't true. Think of how scary that is?

This is the most frustrating thing about our modern political climate, we have an entire political party who cannot be reached with any form of truth at all, they dismiss anything that doesn't fit their world view automatically, they look to fiends for leadership on what to believe. It is totally delusional. If it were a single person with this kind of thinking they would end up in a psych ward somewhere, but we have them en masse trying to take apart our country.

3. I just HAD to post this here tonight!
There's no one else around to hear me SCREAM! The empath that I am just couldn't take any more of the pain many of us here are feeling. I'm done feeling hopeless, and helpless too. I'm giving thanks to the Universe with faith and hope that WE WILL BE HEARD THIS TIME!! Love to all, and thank you for this place of comfort and acceptance for who we are. JA

5. I hear you big time!!!!!
I empathize with what you are saying like you can't believe. It is how I feel so much. My husband, who I love, is a right winger that takes his talking points from Fox on political issues, no one in this house wants to hear me. Thank God my sister and parents are just like me politically.

I pray every day that people will come to their senses, good people have had their minds taken over, it scares me. My husband can go from funny, jolly, laughing guy that he normally is to nut-case, angry rightie like flipping a light switch, it is literally like that. I don't know what's been done in the Universe to allow this to happen to people, I just wish people could have their minds back. If politics didn't exist there is little he and I wouldn't agree on, we tend to choose the same people in local non-partisan races like mayor and city counsel. Like I said, this is a weirder deal that most people give it credit for IMO.

6. I was fine until I heard Patrick Swayze died
I wasn't even a particularly big fan of his, but his movies are part of my entire life, if you know what I mean. I am SO. TIRED. OF. PEOPLE. DEPARTING. I realize their soul contracts are up. I realize they can do more good, can help us better, from the Other Side. I realize that they're not truly "gone". But I've become afraid to check LBN here on DU and entertainment Web sites each day out of fear that somebody else I admired has left this plane of existence. I feel...abandoned! :cry:

7. I've been in a pissy mood all day. I work for weeks on not going to
"the rage place," then I crack, and start raging, just because, well, sometimes I LIKE to rage! Even though it does no good for me to feed that mood...

9. {{{heart healing vibes for all who want them}}}
may you release all pain and heart ache not your own

may that which is yours be healed and your wounds and entire self wrapped in a cocoon of divine love

remember you can ask your angels to wrap their wings around you, sheltering and nurturing you

and if you wish you can ask help feeling their love for you. Just say something like 'i give myself permission to receive the divine love that my Angels/Guides/Allies/insert name of being of light has for me now. i ask for assistance in releasing anything that inhibits my freely accepting love now'.

namaste

13. Love my Angels,
thanks for reminding me. It does release built up pressure to vent sometimes however! Crying also is an excellant release. Like a volcano, this had been building in me for days. You are so correct about needing to let go of pain that is not your own, but for me that's very hard to do. If I "sheild" myself, don't I loose a little bit of my nature?

15. Think of your shield like a cellular membrane
Edited on Tue Sep-15-09 11:28 PM by Shallah Kali
healthily letting in only the things that serve and blocking the rest. Or maybe think of it as a window screen that keeps out the bugs but lets breezes flow freely. Another thought is a coat - a warm one when it's cold outside, a water repellent one when it rains and when the weather is just right no need for one at all. The idea is not to cut yourself off from the world just filter out the worst of any bad weather you encounter. Affirm that all positive energies flow freely and all that is not of the Light is blocked, bounces off like a rubber ball, is grounded in the earth or whatever image suits you best.

Some empaths can just let other's painful energy just pass thought them but I rarely can, probably as it resonates with my old emotional wounds, so I shield. I still sense other's energy but with much less intensity. Maybe someday I can go without my enhanced aura just as the stories of mystical monks who can make ponds of icy water steam up in the Himallayas but until then I will wear my shield and winter coat!

I came across a visulization that might work for you the other day. When you ground in the earth imagine the cord going from your root chakra down to the core of the Earth. Affirm that anything that is not yours automatically flows down the cord. don't worry about contaminating the Earth this way - it is energetic compost that like potato peelings and ickier waste eventually turns into rich fertile soil.


Crying releases built up stress chemicals so I am a big believer in letting myself and others cry. I had to relearn it in therapy as when I was young & depressed my Father yelled at me for crying and eventually I couldn't cry unless in total emotional breakdown.

How to Enjoy the Shift
http://lightworker.com/Spectrum//articles/146/1/How-to-Enjoy-the-Shift/Page1.html

Grounding is something almost everyone has considered. But grounding is not a thought; it is an action, a tool to dissipate noisy thoughts, anxiety and undesirable emotions that run through our bodies. If you would close your eyes and in your imagination create an image of a beam of Light, a line of energy, a tree trunk, a pipe or a chain. Just pretend. Then connect one end to the lowest tip of your spine, the first chakra. Feel the connection. Make this real. Then drop the other end of the line to the center of the earth. The center of the earth is not very far away. See the line of energy strongly connect to the center of the earth. With your imagination reach down and tug on both ends and feel the connection. Now, expand the line to about eight inches in diameter and give it the command to activate and become magnetic. Take a breath and notice the relaxation.
The command to activate allows the grounding line, a natural part of your body’s operating system, to release thoughts and emotions that do not belong to you, but constantly affect you. These thoughts and emotions flow through the unprotected energy field, stimulating emotions, creating reaction and discomfort. Interestingly, the majority of thoughts you think belong to the world surrounding you and have very little to do with you at all. But once they are in your space they create a distraction, distort your attention and direct your life. Grounding minimizes this noise.

The Octahedron
Surrounding you are a number of energy fields, one of which you know as the aura. The aura gathers, retains and files every thought, word and action that occurs within, through and around you. In other words it holds a lot of information, much of which has very little to do with you. This energy field is also an antenna. It attracts frequencies of thought. If you can manage the antenna, you can manage what the antenna attracts. Constructing this antenna around you creates a powerful energy field which aligns with the information of the Shift and your own internal guidance system. In Sacred Geometry there are five forms known as Platonic Solids which hold unique characteristics. One is the Octahedron. It is one four-sided pyramid pointing up with a second four-sided pyramid connected at the base and pointing down.
Find a point about two feet in front of you and, with your imagination, place a dot there. Then place another dot two feet directly behind you and two more dots, two feet to the left and right of you. Place a dot about two feet above your head and another below your feet. Six dots. This is an experiential, not a mental, exercise. Feel each of the dots and see them with your imagination. Now, from the point above your head draw four lines connecting to the four dots surrounding you. Then connect each of those four dots creating a four-sided pyramid. See it. Feel it around you. Next, from the point below your feet, draw four lines connecting up to the four dots surrounding you. This will create a sense of containment. This containment is not a wall or a defense system; it is a safe vessel that allows you to move around without becoming affected by the noise. It is also an antenna, which aligns with the Light and Infinite Intelligence being transmitted during this Shift. The Octahedron creates an alignment with all that you are and simply filters out that which you are not.

Experience and play with these tools. As simple as they are, they will alter your conscious reality and allow you to enjoy the unfolding Shift.

12. There is a lot of good news too....
One bit of good news I like a lot is the fact that all this stress is pushing a lot of people to wake up in spiritual awareness.
Not only to what's going on, but to consciously take the next leap forward.
Soon it will be easy to tell the good guys from the bad guys. There is a big break-through coming in a whole new direction for most of the planet.
Many individuals are already there or at least well on their way...and many more will also join in opening up all the new possibilities that will come out of our spiritual growth.
I can tell you this much.
One of the new things will be how everyone can see what level of thought a person is at/having. You will not be able to tell the exact thought unless you are sharing consciousness..but...
you WILL be able to see what level of consciousness another person is on/at at any one moment.
This means..we will be able to tell when we are being lied to much more easily. We will be able to see the bad guys coming in time to cross the street...know who the pedophiles are...who is lusting who...etc, etc, etc.
There will soon be a time where there will be no more secrets.
The problem will not be in telling the good guys from the bad guys. But the problem will be what to do with the bad guys to help them or to keep them from harming others and their selves.
The clearer/brighter we keep our own energy field..the sooner this will happen as we have to be able to see through our own energy field first to "See."
You can actually learn see these things (energy fields and the colors in the energy field) on a regular camera as well..and once you learn how and what you are looking at, it opens many doors.

14. I'm all for some GOOD NEWS!
I'm finding myself a little impatient tho'! I've been "reading people" for a long time now, maybe that's why. I get very impatient with people who are too blind to see the handwriting on the wall!! All in good time though. I guess that's the attitude we have to take. Thank you for your in depth response. Much food for thought. JA

16. The "uncommitted group"
Edited on Wed Sep-16-09 07:27 AM by get the red out
I love what you wrote, and hope for this to come to pass. I have a question though, I see a rather large what I call "uncommitted group", people that are intelligent but absolutely disconnected from the changes around them. They don't watch the news or seem to have strong political opinions, but are generally educated and can discuss numerous topics. Are these folks just kind of spiritually waiting it out? Going with the flow? They are the folks that tend to go to very mainline Churches (not fundies) and never question what they are told spiritually, but never talk about it either.

I just wondered what people's take on these middle of the road folks was. I know I get focused on the right vs left paradigm; fundamentalists vs spiritual.
